on a non-dividend-paying stock. The stock price is $50 and the risk-free rate of interest is 5%
per annum with yearly compounding (as per 1st of January 2023).
a) What are the forward price and the initial value of the forward contract?
Five years later, 1st of January 2028, the price of the stock is $60 and the risk-free interest
rate is still 5%. `
b) On 1st of January 2028, what are the forward price and the value of the forward contract that

same underlying stock and with expiration date in 5 years. What is the value of your total
position? (I.e. what is the total value of the long position in the forward contract in a) and your
short position). What is the payoff of your total position at maturity?
